Jack Jensen joined the Finance Outreach & Compliance
team as a Training and Development Specialist.  Jack has spent the past 14
years in Secondary Education, teaching math at Fork Union Military Academy and Monticello
High School, and serving as the Distance Education teacher for Fluvanna
County.  Prior to moving to Virginia and entering Education, Jack worked
in the Chicago area.  He served as a Lab Manager for Sun Chemical

Wesleyan University, and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from

Danielle Hancock joined the Finance Outreach & Compliance
team as a Training & Development Specialist in September.  Danielle is
one of many Super Temp success stories. After completing the Super Temp
training, Danielle spent the last year as the Fiscal Administrator for the
Astronomy Department.  The knowledge that she gained from her work in the
Integrated System will prove helpful as she takes over the Grants Accounting
training among other responsibilities.   Prior to becoming a staff
member at UVA, Danielle was a graduate student, earning an Education Specialist
degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the Curry School of Education. 
Danielle also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the
University of Pittsburgh and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Literacy from
Wilkes University. 

Erika Priddy joined our
Finance Outreach & Compliance team in September as a Training and Development
Specialist. Erika’s service in
the US Air Force set her trajectory toward training and education.  After three years of ICBM Operations, she
became an instructor and developer and ultimately served as the Chief of
Weapons and Tactics Training.  But the upheaval
of a military career was not for her. 
Deciding to put down roots in Charlottesville, Erika spent three years as a contractor at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center
and School (on North Grounds, across from the Law School) providing instructional design and technological support for the Army Paralegal Program
of Instruction.  Erika is specifically
interested in eLearning development and blended learning facilitation.  She has a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from
Miami University and is currently working on her Master’s degree in Higher,
Adult, and Lifelong Education from Michigan State University.     

LaVerne Harris joined the Finance Outreach & Compliance team as an Export
Analyst in September.  Her background includes over 25 years of
export/import licensing and compliance experience within the defense electronic
divisions of both Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Company.  In addition,
LaVerne is a proud US Air Force veteran.  LaVerne’s export/import
compliance experience will afford the Office of Export Controls the ability to
increase export compliance assessments and training activities to both staff
and faculty in support of various international activities. The Office of
Export Compliance is located centrally within the Finance Outreach and
Compliance office at Caruthers Hall.
